Pancakes and Blues

On Sunday morning from 10-12 come to the Crystal Palace in Picton at the County Garden Show for an amazing pancake breakfast and blues performance.

The Rotary Club of Picton will be hosting the breakfast and Brian Blain wrapping up his eastern tour will be setting the mood.

Get in the mood and listen to Brian

Come see the Orchid Bar

The County Garden Show will also feature an orchid bar!!!

The orchid family contains more than 30,000 species. In spite of their exotic appearance, many orchids are no more difficult to grow than other houseplants. A windowsill makes makes a great home for an orchid and this plant makes a lovely gift for any occasion.

Drew MacCandlish of Wight’s Greenhouse in Wellington will supply the County Garden Show with these exquisite plants. Drew will also display and discuss a healing garden, describing its therapeutic benefits.
